I like the title 'mediocre white men'. It says so much!! 'Mediocre white men': GOP senators trashed by conservative for 'asinine' refusal to vote for Ketanji Brown JacksonTom NJBoggioni April 03, 2022 After sharing a clip of Blunt stating, "I think she's certainly going to be confirmed. I think it'll be a high point for the country to see her go on the court. But I don't think she's the kind of judge that will really do the kind of work that I think needs to be done by the court. And I won't be supporting her, but I'll be joining others and understanding the importance of this moment," host Jonathan Capehart gave conservative Tara Setmayer first crack at responding. Listen, it's absurd," Setmayer exclaimed. "The rationalizations that Republicans are trying to put forth for not supporting this woman are just asinine and they know it. They're digging; they're trying to find something to justify this." "She is more qualified than the last three Supreme Court justices that Donald Trump nominated," she continued. "Let's be honest: she has more experience as a judge. she has an impeccable record, she was nominated and successfully confirmed three other times. But you're just getting the musings of mediocre white men threatened by the excellence of this Black woman about to make history on the Supreme Court and they just cannot bring themselves to support her and support history." "It is so transparent," she added. "And every time they open their mouths and qualify that, 'well, you know, we're going to appreciate the moment, but we don't think she's qualified,' it just shows how absurd the Republican Party has become. If anyone deserves bipartisan support, it's Ketanji Brown Jackson." www.rawstory.com/gop-2657085843/ |

McConnell et al must be so proud.... How soon it will be in the history books how obstructive they are. How they don't want qualified people serving our Nation! Republicans slammed for pushing 'transparently foolish excuses' to justify opposition to Ketanji Brown Jackson[/b] Sky Palma April 04, 2022 In the wake of Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson's Senate questioning, more than one Republican has come forward saying they think she's highly qualified for the position but they won't be voting for her.*** As Benen points out, the latter is exactly the strategy that Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell has in mind. According to reports from this weekend, McConnell "is putting public and private pressure on his Senate Republican colleagues to oppose President Biden’s nominee to the Supreme Court, despite the historic nature of her nomination to be the first Black woman on the court."www.rawstory.com/ketanji-brown-jackson-2657090535/ |

After Sen Durbin called Hawley out!! Blackburn, Kennedy, Cornyn and Lee had no answer... Josh Hawley backpedals after suggesting people who have hysterectomies are no longer womenDavid Edwards April 06, 2022 Sen. Josh Hawley (R-MO) was one of several Republican senators who either refused to define the word "woman" or struggled to come up with a definition.HuffPost posed the question to a number of GOP senators after Sen. Marsha Blackburn (R-TN) demanded that Supreme Court nominee Ketanji Brown Jackson define "what a woman is." Blackburn refused to answer her own question citing her self-imposed policy of not talking to reporters in the Senate hallways. “I don’t have anything for you on that,” Sen. John Kennedy (R-LA) said. "I’m not going to indulge you,” Sen. John Cornyn (R-TX) dodged. Sen. Mike Lee (R-UT) defined a woman as "an adult female of the human species.” Hawley's initial definition excluded women who have had hysterectomies. “Someone who can give birth to a child, a mother, is a woman,” Hawley told HuffPost. “Someone who has a uterus is a woman. It doesn’t seem that complicated to me.”The reporter asked if a woman who lost her uterus due to a hysterectomy or cancer would still be a woman. “I mean, a woman has a vagina, right?” Hawley opined. www.rawstory.com/josh-hawley-define-woman/ |

How does Hawley keep becoming more despicable every day? He's raising it to an art form. Wonder how well that remark will go over with his wife and mother. Will either stop being a woman if she has a hysterectomy?  |

How does Hawley keep becoming more despicable every day? He's raising it to an art form. Wonder how well that remark will go over with his wife and mother. Will either stop being a woman if she has a hysterectomy?  He backtracked. The bigger question is does he respect them at all? Probably not, as misogyny is part of the platform for the "Good Ol' Peckers." Remember, they're tryin' to get back to those days when "a woman knew her place," which, presumably, was kneeling at the feet of whatever dangly-endowed person had claim to her. We hoity-toity women forget, these days, that wisdom is located in the pecker. But, what happens to their qualifications when they, as about 67% of men do after the age of 50, can't raise that almighty sword? Oh, my. Let's hear their reaction if we suggest that they are no longer men (their fear). Real men aren't afraid of standing beside strong women. |

Guest contributor to the Kansas City Star.. After how Sen Josh Hawley his questions were to Ketanji Brown Jackson hearings. Josh Hawley says he’s concerned about abused kids, but he ignored them as Missouri AG BY REBECCA RANDLES SPECIAL TO THE STAR APRIL 13, 2022 5:00 AM Hawley’s political shenanigans obscure the truth about victimization. He has introduced legislation about pornography, but only in concert with his bashing of the first Black woman to be nominated to the Supreme Court. When he grilled Jackson on her sentencing of an 18-year-old in a child pornography possession case, he was winking at QAnon true believers’ delusions about fictional networks of celebrity and politician pedophiles. However, Hawley ignores his own failure to protect sexually abused children who are very real. Hawley was the attorney general for the state of Missouri when a shocking Pennsylvania grand jury report made the news in August 2018. It revealed that hundreds of Catholic priests in that state had been credibly accused of sexual abuse of children, representing more than 1,000 victims. On review, my law partners and I found that Missouri had even more. Where was the then-attorney general’s outrage? After we challenged Hawley in letters, through advocacy organizations and in press conferences, he agreed to investigate priests who had abused children. Then he left for the Senate, having done nothing. He left the so-called “investigation” to his successor. He did not contact our clients (we have had hundreds). He did not contact us for information, and he did not make any kind of report regarding these abuses. *** Where is Hawley’s outrage that the children of his own state have been used as sexual toys by some of the most powerful figures in their lives? His outrage stays in Washington, D.C., directed at symbolic issues. His embrace of conspiracy theory dog whistles aimed at his political opponents grabs attention as he ignores actual allegations of sexual abuse of children. His booming baritone voice reinforces his fiery diatribes, but he does nothing. Loud. Attention-grabbing. Do-nothing. A lime green leisure suit on a hanger. We challenge Sen. Hawley to take a fresh look at the crimes against children committed in his own state, including allegations against elected officials in his own party, and actually do something to protect kids.
